Soul echo

Chapter 190 Travel Chat

"Teacher...do we really need to take him with us?"

With the carriage, Zhong Ye and the others can carry more things, and the carriage itself can also be modified.

Zhong Ye used his only mechanical knowledge to install a retractable roof for the carriage. When using it, he could use two sticks to lift it up, so that he could open a wind leak around the side of the carriage, but it could avoid the wind. Shed for rain and snow.

The only pity is that the village they passed by before did not sell thick cloth, otherwise Zhong Ye could have added a layer of cloth to the shed.

Lilian, Zhong Ye, and their horse hid under the roof of the shed, sitting around the fire, feeling the huge heat radiating from the blazing flames.

The man code-named 'True Whitefish' was locked in the carriage by them. In fact, he had been locked in the carriage since he left Annecy, and he was only allowed to leave the carriage when he was excreting.

That man knew what he was facing, so he accepted it all naturally.

If there is no 'withdrawal reaction' and no episodes, he is just an ordinary person with a slightly depressed state of mind, who can have a normal conversation-as long as he doesn't ask who his superior is.

But 'True Whitefish' is of no use to them if they can't learn from him who his superior is!

"Have."

Zhong Ye tore off the hot piece of meat without changing his expression, put a piece of meat into his mouth to chew, and skewered the rest, and handed them to Lilian.

"From the moment he was handed over by Lord Annecy, it means that Lord Ananxi has connections with the interest group behind the hallucinogen dealers, and is most likely one of them."

After receiving the meat skewers, Lilian tilted her head in doubt, "Why?"

"Do you think the lord of Annecy will care about our destruction of Annecy?" Zhong Ye did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"No!" Lilian didn't even think about it, "If he cared, he wouldn't allow hallucinogens to flood—he can hand over the 'True Whitefish', which means that he has already mastered the 'True Whitefish'." information, which means that he acquiesced in the proliferation of Annecy's hallucinogens."

Zhong Ye nodded, and then asked: "The flood of hallucinogens caused more damage to Ananxi, or did adventurers only look for hallucinogen dealers in areas where civilians can move? Do you think the lord of Annecy cares about the lives of civilians?"

This kind of question does not need to think at all!
"If the lord of Annecy doesn't care about these things, why would he use 'True Whitefish' in exchange for canceling the mission?"

Zhong Ye picked up the freshly roasted piece of meat from the fire, blew on the hot air, and then bit down.

Lilian frowned slowly, thinking hard, but couldn't figure out why the lord of Annecy would do this.

After chewing and swallowing the piece of meat in his mouth, Zhong Ye said slowly: "Because he knows that 'true whitefish' is the same as those hallucinogen dealers, as long as 'superior' is mentioned, it will trigger a withdrawal reaction, And 'true whitefish' didn't matter to him."

Lilian nodded, but soon, she realized something was wrong.

"But isn't the lord of Annecy not directly related to the interest group behind the hallucinogen dealer?"

Hearing this question, Zhong Ye laughed, "It is true that there is no direct connection on the surface, but remember when I interrogated those hallucinogen dealers, what was the 'task' they explained? Their letter to Who did you sell the hallucinogen to?"

"Diffuse the hallucinogens as much as possible..." Lilian blinked, "The hallucinogens are sold to blacksmiths, stonemasons, watchmakers, bakers, factory workers, stewards, gang members, prostitutes, adventurers... ..."

After counting them carefully, Lilian was shocked to find that hallucinogens had become so prevalent in Annecy!

"This is a force!" Zhong Ye affirmed, "You have also seen those hallucinogen dealers trigger withdrawal reactions, even if they are tied up by me, knowing how I hate them, they still cry Begging me, hoping to get a little bit of hallucinogen from me, even if it's just a little bit, even if it's not the kind they use."

Hearing Zhong Ye's mention, Lilian remembered the scenes she had seen before, and couldn't help shivering.

That is no longer a human being, no matter what kind of 'withdrawal reaction' they show, those hallucinogen dealers will eventually beg Zhong Ye, even though they know it is impossible.

The kind that emanated from her bones...she didn't know how to describe it, the kind of feeling that could make one's heart chill just by looking at it, made her truly realize how dangerous and evil 'drugs' are.

"Those addicts can be controlled." Zhong Ye added softly, "—with hallucinogens."

As if a thunderbolt exploded in her mind, Lilian figured out all the joints at once.

The lord of Annecy has an 'enemy', because the existence of that 'enemy' prevents him from completely controlling Annecy and exercising all his powers.

So... he wants to find another way?

This is ridiculous!
Zhong Ye pointed to the carriage, "It doesn't really matter who the 'True Whitefish' is, he can be 'True Whitefish', and others can be 'True Whitefish', the bottom hallucinogen dealers are irreplaceable, they He has the information of all the addicts in Annecy in his hands, that is to say, the 'True Whitefish' is just a white glove, if it is lost, you only need to change it, and the bottom-level hallucinogen dealers are the lords of Annecy. Tentacles that spread to the people."

Hearing these things made Lilian's scalp tingle. She didn't have Zhong Ye's ability to grasp clues from clues and integrate them all.

If she were to fight wits and courage with these people, she might be eaten to the bone!

"Of course, the above are just speculations. What if the lord of Annecy doesn't think so?"

Zhong Ye easily covered this topic with one sentence, but Lilian was still in shock, and the audience in the live broadcast room were also amazed.

Silence returned under the roof, only the sound of Zhong Ye chewing meat and the horse gnawing meat continued.

"But..." Lilian suddenly thought of another question, "Isn't Lord Anansi's 'enemy' just the 'Shield of Perseverance'? They are the title battle group of the House Goddess Church, and hallucinogens are boycotted by all churches." Unless the lord of Ananxi intends to throw himself into the embrace of the abyss, otherwise, he will not use hallucinogens to control Ananxi, right?"

"So it's just 'guessing'." Zhong Ye licked his oily lips, and continued, "We need to keep investigating to find out what is behind all this."

"...What about him?" Lilian pursed her lips and turned to look at the carriage. "What's the use of him?"

"After arriving in Bulger, I will hand him over to the church and let the priests see if they can pry something out of his mouth with divine magic."

Zhong Ye described his plan: "Then, track down the cultists based on the information given by the black market in Turin."

Burger...

Lilian tried her best to recall, digging out the information she wanted to get from her memory with difficulty, and then froze for a while.

"Bulger... seems to be a hallucinogen too?"

"It's not just Bourg, Lyon, Valence, Chambery, Geneva, Turin black market have found more or less flooding of hallucinogens in these cities, the difference is only in the degree of flooding." Zhong Ye answered while munching on the piece of meat.

His tone sounded a little casual, but Lilian could only see a coldness in his eyes.

Such a large-scale problem of the proliferation of hallucinogens... If there is not a huge group behind it, it is obviously impossible!

They only know that these cities are flooded with hallucinogens. It doesn't mean that these cities have problems only because they don't know the situation in other cities.

They don't know whether the cultists are behind all this, and they can only slowly search for clues and piece together the truth bit by bit.

However, now with the addition of 'players', this process can be accelerated a lot!

Lilian glanced at the barrage, and she knew that someone would send this information to the game forum, and then there would be players who were active in the Gaul Kingdom to join this 'hunt'!
call--

Suddenly a cold wind hit, awakening Lilian from her contemplation.

Looking over the edge of the roof, she saw the dark clouds floating in the sky, which turned the sky gray.

It's going to snow again...
